Youth cannot know how age thinks and feels. But old men are guilty if they forget what it was to be young.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Yes and our obsession with youth in our culture and how we, women lie about their age after 35 obsessively and no one wants to let anyone know they're getting older, et cetera.
Youth doesn't reason, it acts. The old man reasons and would like to make the others act in his place.
I don't think men figure out what they're really about until they're 25. That's when they start to feel like themselves.
If youth knew; if age could.
Young men have a passion for regarding their elders as senile.
Some men are born old, and some men never seem so. If we keep well and cheerful, we are always young and at last die in youth even when in years would count as old.
Children who assume adult responsibilities feel old when they're young.
Age does not make us childish, as some say; it finds us true children.
Youth is a blunder; Manhood a struggle, Old Age a regret.
Young men think old men are fools; but old men know young men are fools.
